    Tell me what you think or just drop 💀🦷 to show some love. It's always cool hearing from you, and I hear comments help with algorithm stuff? This one's about that struggle we can have with ourselves in our own minds. Everyone’s got something. Could be an unhealthy thought life, addictions, insecurities, whatever yours may be. This song is about standing up to those things. “I’ve had a devil in my mind, and I’m done listening." I know this one won't be for everyone, it's experimental, it's different, but for some, it might mean a lot.
    Also, figured I'd drop a little explanation about the skulls here, why I use them so much, because not everyone knows. The last bottle of alcohol gifted to me from my brother before I went sober was a bottle of vodka shaped like a skull. I still have it, unopened in my living room, and I’m eight years sober at this point. When I see that bottle, and I see it every day, I don’t see a crutch or a temptation, I see the strength of my own will. I believe reinterpreting the darkest points in your life as sources of strength and personal growth is key to blooming as a human being. The way I’ve flipped that skull emoji to mean something positive in my world reflects that way of thinking. When I see you drop skulls, I see all that.

      Hey Kai, what are the chords you use in the song?
      I think it’s something like E G ? B
      Fantastic song that’s been on repeat since I heard it 😍

      been listening to your music for a long time now and i have always loved it, the way you write both the music and lyrics is spiritual. You write with great purpose and meaning and for that i will always come back to listen. Also, i love writing within the tragedians decoupage and will never stop listening to it, thank you for creating such a wonderful art that i can use to communicate and relate with others

    I’ve battled addiction for years now. Had like a year of recovery going and then I lost my best friend, my sister my whole fucking world to overdose. Since then I’ve been a broken pile of relapses and then trying to build my life back up just to burn it all down again. Stuck in the cycle. A war going on inside my body and mind every single day for months. I’m exhausted. And this song just threw me to the floor the other day. The shake in the voice, the lyrics your description in the comments, it’s everything. It’s hope for me. Thank you for this huge blessing. Sometimes a song is the only way I feel understood. Love you forever Danielle ❤️ you would of loved this song.
